Every Christian has moments of feeling tired of living the Christian life. Thankfully, Hebrews 12:1-3 gives us several ideas for how we can run the race of the Christian life well. Each guideline keeps us running while also equipping us to maintain our pace. We looked at the first three ways in an earlier blog, so we will now identify the final three guidelines.

I’m a sprinter. When I was younger, I was fast; but I was a terrible long distance runner. The Christian life is not a sprint; it’s a marathon.

The goal is to stay the course and to savor the journey as you travel.
